Amazing arrangements and performances by Farintosh filled with a variety of textures and colourful soundscapes. It was fun recording him because nearly every take was perfect which made it hard to choose which one to use! It was also a particular joy hearing Simon play because not only is he a world class professional guitarist, he’s also a former student of mine from long ago. You can read all about Simon at his bio page. Big congrats to Simon on all his success.
